It's very easy and human to feel overwhelmed by the climate crisis. However, our next free panel event, Vital Minds, on 27 March will bring together climate activists, a journalist, psychologist and a peace-pilgrim to explore how we can all reclaim our agency to shape hopeful futures for the environment. Chair Clover Hogan, climate activist and founder of Force of Nature will be joined by Daze A. Steffi Bednarek (FRSA) Satish Kumar and Kris De Meyer with British sign language (BSL) interpreting from Interpreting Matters Ltd. Places are free but booking is essential. https://lnkd.in/e3Ri65zz

'In an era where climate change headlines often inspire despair, the gallery's latest exhibition "Vital Signs: Another World is Possible" offers something different: a perspective where air, water, fire, and earth emerge as ancestors, relatives, and even deities. 'The exhibition reimagines our relationship with the natural world through a lens of kinship and sacred connections. This approach particularly resonates with me, as someone fascinated by artworks that elevate natural elements beyond mere materials to be consumed.' Read more of this fantastic review of Vital Signs, with thanks to Aayush Anima A.Vital Signs is open Wed-Sat, 11-6 and entry is free. https://lnkd.in/e4D5JGq3
